Dear Wiki contributors,
In the current WritingGuide, you (Matthew, Endolith) used a syntax giving the APT link without the "how to install a package" link.
I don't think it is a good idea :
1) APT links don't work at all for Dapper users. So they need the link to other methods.
2) APT is not enabled by default for all browsers. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7017256&postcount=10) So they need the link where they will find the method to enable the APT links on all web browsers.
3) APT won't work if the appropriate repository is not enabled. The link "installing a package" will help beginners.
I will change the WritingGuide and the "how to install a package" accordingly to the syntax used in the ubuntu-fr Doc since Gutsy.
